Bartlett depicting the Ottoman empire during an era of growing European influence and illustrated throughout with delightful engravings after Bartlett. Miss Pardoe traveled to Constantinople with her father in 1836-7 inspiring first the work "City of the Sultan" in 1836 and then the collaborative "Beauties of the Bosphorus" in 1838. In the tradition of travel writer Lady Mary Wortley Montegu Pardoe focuses her attention on the Turkish culture. According to Pardoe "The work Beauties of Bosphorus is purely a descriptive one and I have followed this talented artist Bartlett wheresoever he has led me and found him no inefficient guide. Together we have visited mosques wandered in burial places climbed mountains and glided over the sun-lighted Bosphorus."
